From the producers who brought you last summer’s sold-out production of Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love comes a brand new play about the trials of life and love in a small town. In a small bar in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, six young underachievers await the results of a murder trial that’s hit close to home. Their world of drinking, sarcasm and missed opportunities is flipped upside down when a former friend returns from Toronto to testify in the trial, reopening old wounds and creating some new ones as well.
This production of Prodigals is part of Twenty-Something Theatre’s annual SPOTLIGHT production that features one local emerging artist and gives them the opportunity to shine. This year’s SPOTLIGHT production features up-and-coming Vancouver playwright Sean Minogue.
Sean Minogue is a Vancouver-based screenwriter, journalist and playwright. His work frequently appears in The Georgia Straight, where he covers developments in the local film and television scene. A native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Sean studied literature at Carleton University and screenwriting at Vancouver Film School. He writes for children’s animated television, analyzes screenplays for Telefilm, and has a growing obsession with the future of writers in an age of digital content. Prodigals is his first play.
